My Manager's README
Have you ever started a new role and wondered what your manager really expects? Inspired by Edgar’s fantastic post and other Engineering Managers, I created this Manager README to help new and existing team members understand my leadership style, values, and expectations. It ensures smooth onboarding by providing clarity on communication, priorities, and growth.
Effective onboarding is crucial to our industry. New joiners come with a fresh mind, and, in the first few days of a new job, things can go really fast and people can get lost easily. Providing an easy and digestible way for them to know you as their manager, to know your leadership style(s), values, communication channels, and, more importantly, your expectations with them, is key for successful onboarding.
